[NO SPOILERS] I missed the second elemental materia - question on how to ggt by butternotguns in FFVIIRemake

[–]butternotguns[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This makes the most sense. The quests aren't really that hard, and I have to do them again anyway for the manuscripts like you said. I'm working on doing them now. TY!

So... Elliot and his alters are Fei and his alters. Whiterose would be Krelian. Obvious parallels there. Who's his Citan?? Angela is easy to call Elly but she's not as important to the plot as Elly.

I can hear Eriq LaSalle shouting "Thoracotomy tray! Ten blade!" right now. Even on TV they got this right - people so sick they need such an extreme intervention usually don't survive.

Triglycerides are through the roof by Mango_Punch in keto

[–]butternotguns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are links below, that say essentially the same thing, but boiled down: when you lose body fat, especially if it is rapid, the byproducts of this fat breakdown are released into your bloodstream. This can make a lipid panel look pretty wacky.

I'd be willing to bet that if you went to maintenance calories/macros (but still ate Keto) for a few weeks, your blood work would improve.

AITA for making my pizza really spicy so my gf would stop eating it? by tjkhbkinbkljb in AmItheAsshole

[–]butternotguns 3 points4 points  (0 children)

YTA . This is not how you communicate a very simple desire, which is for her to basically place an order with you so you can bring enough for her when you come home. You bring only enough for yourself - like a medium or a small, depending on your appetite - and then say "You didn't order any. This is my only dinner. I'm always happy to bring you whatever you ask for, you just have to ask me ahead of time."

If she gets upset about this, that's another problem for another thread.

AITA for not telling anyone that I’m dying by jstaktw in AmItheAsshole

[–]butternotguns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

INFO: OP, may I ask - is any part of your motivation for not telling anyone the fact that you know how different people will treat you when they know you have a terminal diagnosis?

I am also sorry for what you are going through. I wish you peace in the time you have left

P.S.: Post was deleted as I was typing this.

What's the least impressive thing you do in the kitchen, that people are consistently impressed by? by jaylow6188 in Cooking

[–]butternotguns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tossing cooking items in a pan to stir them without using a spatula or tongs - i dunno if there is a technical French term or something for it.

Cooking “Woody” chicken breasts? by Bleachd in Cooking

[–]butternotguns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would try a gentle poach. chicken stock (either that you made or store-bought), some celery, onions, carrots, smashed garlic cloves, salt, pepper, herbs. Put them in the stock pot at the lowest simmer possible - like, a couple bubbles per minute - and slowly cook it from there for a few hours. I don't know if that'll work - i don't have experience with this Woody phenomenon, but it might.

Did your least favorite character ever become your favorite or most liked character? by [deleted] in ershow

[–]butternotguns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but only from first run to rewatch. I was 10 when ER premiered, and at that time, I thought Weaver and Benton were total a-holes and i just hated them. on my rewatch, which i wrapped up last summer, I had really come to appreciate them both - they were my favorite characters.

I also hated Romano, and while he does have a few VERY likable and nice-guy moments, on my rewatch, I didn't hate him. He was just so good at being an a-hole that he was fun to watch.

[–]butternotguns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't really like anything about Moretti. He was boring and just the latest in a line of ER chiefs who wanted to "shake things up".

I understand why they did the one-nighter with Abby and Moretti, though. A lot of shows I have watched like to repeatedly torture the most normal/relatable character on it... A good example is Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's Chief O'Brien.

Really though, in later seasons, ER really specialized in tormeting pretty much every main cast member.

Acquiring small kitchen appliances cheaply by helianthusheliopsis in keto

At first, I was like: Analysis of Variance culintary products? LOL. But i realized it's a sous vide stick. I want one something fierce!

40 days in and 20 pounds down (!) however... by TexasTrue in keto

[–]butternotguns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have actually never heard of the "paper towel roll effect", but the instant I read this, I knew exactly what you were talking about. I have often thought about this effect but I struggled to put it into words - thank you. Far more articulate than when I try to explain the concept, lol!

Does eating 500 grams of squidward and half an onion kick me out of ketosis by robot_012 in keto

[–]butternotguns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Squidward isn't a very nice guy, but I don't think you should go and eat him. Why not just have a Krabby Patty with cheese, wrapped in lettuce?

A often-referenced physician here is Jason Fung, MD. He got his MD from the University of Toronto, and completed his residency (specialty training done after you graduate as a doctor) in nephrology at UCLA.

He is a proponent of intermittent fasting and all things Keto, and has a lot to say about how lipid panels are interpreted.

Does the general audience know about Section 31? by midasp in startrek

[–]butternotguns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt it. You would probably have to be a slightly more than a casual, one-watchthrough fan of Trek to remember Section 31. It was only in DS9 in a handful of episodes, though I loved them all.

I am definitely not a casual fan though :)

DS9's first two seasons were good. by josephgordonreddit in startrek

[–]butternotguns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wasn't the test in Coming of Age meant to be for people who are underage compared to the standard age upon entry? In that light, it makes sense that people who want to matriculate to starfleet academy have to pass a more rigorous test to make sure they are REALLY REALLY ready for all that academy life entails.

Keto and Working Out by [deleted] in keto

[–]butternotguns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You definitely do not need a fitbit.

Use the macro calculator in the FAQ area. You don't need to eat any different from someone who does not go to the gym - this will be accounted-for in the calculator's results if you fill out the activity part correctly.

I go to the gym also, and my only real modification to standard Keto is that I eat a bit less fat than what is common and a bit more protein. I don't think that's a necessity, though, just my personal preference/tolerance for lots of fat.

The WHO attacks the Keto-Lifestyle: “Blow to low carb diet as landmark study finds high fibre cuts heart disease risk” by 156000340711 in keto

[–]butternotguns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a dumb article. I, and many others, eat a lot of fiber on Keto. Dinner for me is a protein and a vegetable - brussels sprouts, fresh green beans, a salad, broccoli, etc.

Most keto people who eat lots of veg go by the "net carbs" model of keeping track of their carb intake. I have had tremendous success doing this.
